Lukewarm: only moderately warm; tepid

I know I have left you all in the dark this past month, but I didn’t know how to translate all of these experiences and emotions into words. For a better explanation… it’s been a roller coaster. For all that don’t know, I felt a push to follow the Lord to Macedonia. At first it was a small tug and I honestly I didn’t understand why this would be something the Lord would call ME into. But then it became a reality when I arrived a month ago. I wanted to learn how to give it ALL to God. So buckle up friends, we’re about to go on a journey. But...

I sat down on a broken bus seat and my world changed once again. Life as I had known it for the past month was coming to a halt. I became overwhelmed with emotions at the thought of not returning to the village. I fell so in love with the community and atmosphere, it literally shattered my heart to leave. There are no words to describe how it felt to say good bye. There’s no way to describe how it feels to look an orphan in the face, tell them you love them and then leave them (again). It hurts. It hurts so badly. Whereas the pain is so real, I’m beyond thankful for the...

Experiencing the Potter

My Jesus is not a microwave Jesus. First off, you may be thinking: “okay what the absolute HECK did this girl just write? Jesus does not belong in the microwave!” Well, yes, I know this, but hang on for a second while I explain my odd expression. In our society, we expect a certain level of efficiency. Faster is better. The more quickly I can get my popcorn to pop in the microwave the happier I am as a human, and the faster I can get my double double animal style at In-n-Out, the better–am I right? Sometimes, we expect God to work the same way; everything that we...

Just A Feeling

Wednesday we arrived in Bangkok, Thailand. Even thought I feel as if only my body is here, but the rest of me is still in Cambodia. We left Kampong Cham on Monday, and stayed in Siem Reap that night and Tuesday, leaving Wednesday morning. While Siem Reap was beautiful and so much fun, giving me the time of my life, I sill felt as though I was missing something. I cried all Sunday, knowing I was going to be leaving my friends. I cried all Monday, missing the faces I had found so much joy with. And I cried Tuesday, not knowing why I was still crying. And I cried Wednesday, scared of...

Our Month in South Africa

Wow, this past month has flown by. As I am writing this blog, I have spent a total of 22 days in South Africa. We had three full weeks of ministry, many hours of training, worship sessions, and many adventures. Each day brought something new. I am so blessed to of had the opportunity to partner with Impact Africa. They are an incredible organization that I would love to partner with in the future. South Africa is a very interesting country. It is First-World and Third-World and I have gotten to experience both. The majority of our ministry here in South Africa was outreach into the...
